why can't SpaceX deliver better quality video

Anyone got any books or resources on model rocketry? I wanna learn how to launch my own rogget.

>>14994089
it's a pretty cringe hobby. People just buy these motors stuff them in a oversized rocket and that's it.

>>14994092
It's that easy in model rocketry?

At least SLS is a real rocket that is proven to be launch-capable unlike Starship

>>14994065
is this really the best camera they sent?

>>14994120
Let's pump 30B and 10 years into starship and let's see where things stand. Certainly sls has nothing to fear with its decade long head start. . .

>>14994120

Because the broadcast licensing terms for live HD video from space are prohibitive.

>>14994085
ITAR

What happened to all the SLS cubesats? Some of them are supposed to do cool stuff like land on the Moon or fly to an asteroid.

>>14994197
Didn't half of them run out of battery before launch because of delays or did the last rollback give them an opportunity to recharge?

Where do NASA find these geniuses? And why aren't those geniuses working for the private sector?

>>14994183
>broadcast licensing terms for live HD video from space are prohibitive.
Can't be serious

Experts from NASA and other institutions will be available by teleconference at 11 a.m. EST on Thursday, Nov. 17, to answer media questions about early science results from the agency’s James Webb Space Telescope.

>>14994217

Not worth the drastic worsening of simplicity and potential vehicle stresses (which make it even more expensive to maintain) when you can achieve the same new results by simply scaling up the diameter, fuel, and engine amounts. Stacked concentric rings are easier than complex shapes that don't really serve a greater purpose in the first place

The problem with every fan design for the next SpaceX vehicle is they are solution ideas looking for applications to real-world logic, where they should be real-world logic looking for solution ideas

Spacewalk soon?

>>14994437
*because SLS Block 1 can't carry its own lander

>>14994452
how much can you flub booster engine efficiency, anyways? would it be practical to run something like a NTR, but with a fusion reactor as the core?

>>14994437
I think it's obvious picking Starship for HLS was just NASA's way of getting around their own limitations. SLS will never be anything other than pork, but by tying it to Starship they can ensure funding for something actually useful.

>>14994459
when will you fuck off with the meme tech. It's not happening.

>>14993666
The picture is from 3-4 years ago when Musk had announced the ITS and its early evolution paths into BFR. It wasn't "Starship" as yet.

>>14994227
I think you're failing to account for how friggin' huge the internal usable volume of Starship actually is. HLS Starship dedicates 5 full ring sections worth of volume to crew area and another 3 ring sections (tapering conically) up to the forward docking port. That's 24 meters tall by 8 meters across (internal). Crew Dragon2 is 4 meters across and 8.1 meters tall. Usable volume is a bit smaller than that. Starship is 2.5x wider than that and 3x taller than that, for internal reusable volume.
>The interior of Starship HLS is going to look like an austere Crew Dragon cabin filled with stuff (like the ISS), with a basic airlock underneath.
Yeah, no faggot. The volume difference is massive. 2 people are going to have 2.5x the usable volume of the ISS for HLS Starship. ISS is 15,000 cubic feet. HLS Starship internal habitable volume is 35,0000 cubic feet. Its going from a car to luxury private jet or a yacht.

Can someone please inform me on this reusable launch pad meme?

>>14994500
That's why Starship should have a cold launch capability.

>>14994500
>NASA crawler damaged
the crawler is not under the pad

>>14994500
With starship, everything but the rocket is expendable

>>14994459
>would it be practical to run something like a NTR, but with a fusion reactor as the core?
With fusion you're better off just ejecting the charged particles as exhaust and injecting a shitload of inert propellant (probably water, lol Arca) to raise TWR for a booster.

>>14994510

>>14994512
God damn he's handsome with a beard.

>>14994516
The fuel will fly back to the launch site (naturally it will expend some fuel of its own to do this)

Good.

>>14994677
ever used a sparkler?

>>14994677
Unburnt chunks of PBAN-APCP, metallic or heavy materials like aluminum oxide. It's also why it keeps moving at the same speed as the SRBs, since its heavy enough to not slow down, while the smoke and vapor coming from the booster is quickly left behind

Not true. The only program targeting A Cen won't be observed until next July. Very unlikely to find planets.

Usually I only post three, but I wanted to show this one as well (after crushing it down a whole megabyte).
I've never seen another stamp like this one, a red background with a simplistic style that reminds me of Voyager's golden record solar system. It is a bit out of place with the stamp its surrounding, but it looks good none-the-less.

Twitter has a lot of automated filters to stop adult content from being posted without a content warning. It probably thinks rockets look like a penis. Chat clients like Discord do the same thing, you can't upload some pictures at all because the algorithm thinks they're sexual.

>>14995038

>Btw do you know what Lucifer means in latin? Bringer of light
I remember that this came from a translation error in Isaiah 14:12, from hebrew to latin. Lucifer, originally "Belel al Shahar" meaning son of morning, never even meant the devil.
The whole thing was a prophet's scolding of a Babylonian king, named after Venus a.k.a. the Morning Star.

>>14995044
It's not a mistranslation. He's comparing the Babylonian king to the adversary as part of his metaphor.

>>14995038
Bro don’t go with the discord analogy that is fucking cringe. Just say it’s like 4chan’s filter. Lots of times I try to link websites but get hit when the stupid “our system thinks this is spam!” message

>>14995045
It was more of a translation from Latin to English thing, translator interpreted Lucifer as a name rather than a title
The Babylonian king basically led his kingdom to ruin, and the prophet critisized him for it
>Quomodo cecidisti de caelo Lucifer? Qui mane oriebaris corruisti in terram, Qui vulnerabas gentes?
>How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations?

I've been saying it for 2+ years. The signs were obvious, the democrats have turned Musk into an enemy because he's gotten too rich.

>the most interesting and ambitious ones are fucked

of course

>>14995291
Because he's shaming them heavily with his success. He blew up NASA's diversity team by making a White-engineered rocket in record time that costs 1/300th of their project and does more.

>>14995293
why has literally every lunar lander attempt save for the chinks utterly failed

>>14995296
Biden wants to put the kibosh on anything except NASA's projects. It's why the FAA, EPA, and NOAA are constantly up Elon's ass.

>>14995294
>>14995302
go back to stg faggot

>>14995302
>Biden wants to
Biden barely knows where he is or what's going on at any given time. Leave the poor senile alone and aim your blame at the more appropriate targets

BA vs BS is literally 1-2 classes in some schools.
I don't even know what my degree is, it doesn't matter at all.
You can a BA in Physics, Math, whatever. I've never seen someone with a BA in an engineering field but they probably exist.

>>14994264
lmao

Its true tho. Berger hasnt been kind to SLS, for good reasons. There are others who are deeply into it, for reasons.

>>14994491
The only shit that matters about JSW.

>>14995293
At least we got LunarIC back, I thought that was gone too.
OMOTENASHI and NEAS will be extremely painful if they're lost though, I'd take either of them over the rest of the shitty cubesats.
Maybe not CuSP, but the rest of them are almost impressively boring.

>>14995314
Fair. I use him as a convenient proxy for the us gubmint but we all know he's just a senile old creep.

>>14995293
literally none of these shitboxes matter

>The Model H system includes 4 thruster heads which are canted, allowing for both primary propulsion and attitude control (orientation) without the use of moving parts.[7][9] The goal within the CubeQest Challenge is to travel 4 million kilometers, but the team will attempt to go as far as 96 million kilometers before the end of the mission.[3]

7 Democratic senators are urging an investigation into Elon Musk because of twitter.
Some of those have been pushing for investigation into Tesla for few years now
Biden pushed democrats to investigate Elon just recently

Its all part of the plan.

>>14995387
It's just like communists to want to steal from someone successful.

>>14995385
this is to validate the first stage
after that, orbital

>>14995269
surely someone saw him at the colleges he went to

He most definitely went to Pennsylvania. They're arguing whether his BA in Physics is real and whether his PhD that he dropped out of after two days is real.
Also they're obviously marxist ideologues as can be seen by shit like this >>14995377

Congressmen and Senators actually have full legal immunity from whatever they might say as long as they say it on the floor of Congress.

>>14995414
Well he's tweeting about extorting Elon, which isn't on the floor.

>>14995414
Specifically they have immunity relating to defamation lawsuits and such. What he said is fully protected by the first amendment

>>14995417
It's extortion. Threatening to use the powers of the government against a private citizen unless they desist from an activity which is legal (arguing online) is a federal felony.

Hermeus just got turbojet to ramjet mode switch working in a Mach 3 wind tunnel. SSTOs soon-ish.

>>14995419
>unless they desist from an activity which is legal (arguing online)
Read his tweet again. His company is accused of killing people, if he doesn't fix something congress will. "Threatening" to "fix" any non-compliance with law and regulations isn't illegal. Call it extortion or whatever

>>14995377
>Fix your companies. Or Congress will.
Yikes. Can't wait for Martian independence.

>>14995377
Why does he wear the mask?

>>14995423

It's the armband of the modern day authoritarian. They do it to show obedience to the moment and let everyone else know the mob they're a part of

pro-martians will storm the capitol if the government tries to stop spacex

But it's not lmao. It's just extortion for not toeing the line.

>Government delays Starship development for 2 years through bureaucratic red tape
>Elon goes crazy waiting and impulsively buys Twitter
Someone just duct tape him inside a SpaceX office and don't let him out until the first Starship lands on Mars

>>14995434
paradigm shift of the 2070s

>>14995377
I would rather be sitting in a dragon with a blown fuse 100,000 miles away from earth than dare to step foot into a fueled Atlas or SLS with a Starliner or Orion at the top. Death to all earthers

>man gets fucked with by the governemnt
>man decides to fuck the government back by taking away one of their propaganda toys
>the moral here is to not fuck with the government

in what universe

>>14995453
You can tell by how insane government shills are getting that they didn't want their toy taken away.

Science sisters...

>>14995453
If he really wanted to fuck with the government he would lobby half of them and then Congress would bend over for him

>>14995455
only missed by like 30 pixels, which is a very small error when you compare it to the distance between the earth and the moon

>>14995447
He could have spent the whole time doing something productive taking up some other project

>>14995455
ITS OVER

>>14995454
These people are even more poorly programed that Twitter is. Banning porn couldn't kill Tumblr and all of these weirdos think a bunch of coddled basedkin being forced to print out a resume is going to kill Twitter. Once again, Elon proves to be a great barometer for other people's craziness.

>>14995458
Fucking up the government is always productive, always valuable, always important

>>14995408
We can hasten this outcome at any time

retards think gravity magically stops once you're in "outer space"

If Twitter goes belly up will this hurt SpaceX?

You seem weary, anon. It seems you’ve been scrolling in an /sfg/ thread full of space is fake trolls, I hate elon twitter rage bait, and bad news from Artemis cubesats. Rest here and make fun of BO for a while to reset your strength

Why can’t /sfg/ be happy Artemis 1 worked while also not doomposting SpaceX?

>>14995491
>never been to orbit
It’s impressive really

>>14995475
Anon, you can see right here on /sci/ many examples of people saying bullshit about subjects they have no basic understanding. There was once a retard saying the Theorem of Pythagoras had no proof and was just an approximation.

Musk
>SpaceX’s situation is DIRE, if Starship isn’t launching 50 times a day by the end of 2022 we are going bankrupt, it’s all hands on deck

Also musk
>Dude what are rockets lol, I’m dedicating all my time to twitter

>>14995493
I think reddit is having some kind of anti-elon echo chamber death spiral and it's leaking out everywhere. /sfg/ will pick back up when starship orbital test gets closer

>>14995501
Because the SLS is the culmination with everything wrong in American space exploration. The success of Artemis will only extend those issues.

>>14995506
Triangle hands typed this

Idgaf what /sfg/ says Elon needs to shut the fuck up or else he’s gonna be red taped to hell by the government.

>>14995501
Shitting and doom posting drives (you)'s. In the meantime post pictures that remind you why you love spaceflight

I miss when Elon was
>le heckin epic Tony Stark IRL!!!!!
Because at least everyone liked him.

one day, /sfg/ will see the light and realize Relativity is the horse to back. Tim Ellis keeps his head down and focuses on the roggets

>>14995520
You can judge how important someone is to the future by the enemies they've managed to make. If Pravda's opinion of you is positive you're not doing enough of the right things.

>>14995522
Relativity has yet to fly anything

I’m currently a bio major in Uni hoping to go to medschool in the future. I don’t know how to turn that into me flying in space but I think I have a good shot.

>>14995501
I was only cheering for SLS for the sake of NEA Scout, which is now unresponsive. This is the worst possible outcome.

>>14995506
this nigga *not* eating beans

>>14995588
BZZZZZZZZ

>>14995588
Hahahaha I completely forgot
Fuck, some of the best moments in /sfg/ history are when live teleconferences or round tables like JPL mission debriefings/starship updates are going on and all anons watching make comments on stupid questions and stuff

I miss these days. Freshman year of Uni, no worries except whether or not what’s-her-name from General Biology One wanted me or not. I’d give a lot to return to then.

That poor lady in charge of the call had to put up with an entire afternoon of bullshit. Also they took forever reading the whole intro and then read the WHOLE damn thing in español
Anyone else remember the based pajeet who called in and made the kino speech in defense of letting Starship launch as often as SeX wanted?

hey I've been out for a bit, what happened early on the 16th? did I miss something?

>>14995627
Yeah the first piece of OC in like 3 years was posted to /sfg/ and got 7 replies. Traffic was up 800%

>>14995594
>I live six bazillion miles away and these rocket tests SHAKE MY HOUSE. This is uncalled for! My dogs go crazy, how is this legal???? Shut it down!!!

That's the Crew Dragon Demo-2 spike btw. Since /sfg/ posting is like 80% of /sci/ (I measured it once, dunno what it is now) you can kinda see here when /sfg/ started to die. Don't worry though, starsneed is right around the corner. It's gonna be POPPING in here

>>14995634
I’m worried the return of oldfags will be overshadowed by the influx of newfags

How much was the traffic during DART?

>>14995634
>/sdg/ dying after DM-2

the golden age was SN8-SN15 (Dec 20 - May 21)
also included the legendary HLS announcement

It’s crazy that /sfg/ makes up the majority of traffic on the board.

>>14995627
>>14995629
>>14995634
We pushed /sci/ over 1000% with that SLS thread.

there is a non-zero chance of woke retards ruining Musks's mars efforts by spillover from twitter shit. Not significant, but not zero.

>>14995640
not much compared to the big bois, you can put the date in on 4stats.io

>>14995642
didn't say that, just said you can see a trend going down eventually (dm-2 is the highest activity recorded to date is all)

>>14995643
It’s been like this for years. Not that surprising really, /sci/ was slow as shit before action started happening at boca chica and /sfg/ was born

>>14995643
There is not much value when most of the board is schizo threads
I gave up following anything here besides /sfg/ because it always the same GLOBAL WARMING HECKING FAKE threads all day every fucking day

>>14995634
>It's gonna be POPPING in here
sounds like we need to reconsider having a dedicated /space/ board

>>14995646
>Someone bought a $40 projector from Amazon, Mars is cancelled bros

>>14995650
Would rival /po/ 80% of the time for slowest board, save for the occasional launch thread.

>>14995646
twitter has had a problem with pedos and groomers they dealt with snail pace for years but of course they got made because the unfunny reddit man said whatever bullshit on twitter

heheheh that was a fun week
t. was the jerk mass-replying to him with snide remarks and criticisms of the idea

I wish we had a probe watching general. I like the rockets but I too like following which rocks the rovers are looking at now.

>>14995658
>is Tooker still around
yes. he namefags as "Jealous"

>>14995659
I've always felt that /sfg/ was more like /launch vehicle general/. I like rockets, but everyone seems to forget that that's only a relatively small portion of spaceflight.

>>14995672
be the change you want to be.
>It had been assumed that all three galaxies, collectively cataloged as Arp 248, are interacting, but more recent investigations reveal that only the brightest two galaxies are sparring gravitationally: the big galaxies at the top and bottom. The spiral galaxy in the middle of the featured image by the Hubble Space Telescope is actually far in the distance, as is the galaxy just below it and all of the other numerous galaxies in the field. A striking result of these giants jousting is a tremendous bridge of stars, gas, and dust that stretches between them -- a bridge almost 200,000 light-years long. Light we see today from Wild's Triplet left about 200 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. In perhaps a billion years or so, the two interacting galaxies will merge to form a single large spiral galaxy.

>>14995672
well this started as texas tank watching general so

>>14995634
>Since /sfg/ posting is like 80% of /sci/
per 4stats the overall board is ~2 posts per minute, sfg is 0.44 per minute. That ratio is approximately the same for posts today on /sci/ with this thread weighted to 24 hours.

>>14995548

>>14995659
Rogs?

>>14995681
it started as an intermittent large launch vehicle discussion; sls/bfr/new glenn. Made a couple of those. Often space discussion before that would just be in my launch threads. Then we had four launches in one day - I made a quad launch thread dec 21 2018 (>>/sci/thread/S10223076)), which morphed into space discussion. On the 23rd(?) the first hopper parts were spotted, and it was welding watch. That lasted for like 8 numbered threads, and sfg came out of it

it's late and I am tired but that's about the gist, perhaps a /sfg/ historian can also chime in?

>>14995475
Even smart and educated people don't understand how orbits work unless they've looked into it, it's not very intuitive

a couple months ago someone registered the domain sfg.rip
I may have jinxed it by mentioning it was available as I was considering buying it

SLS won. It didn’t have to be this way

this lil guy could still be rooving out there

The name of the rocket is literally “Space Launch System” what the hell man that is so fucking lame

>>14995748
Because its a system proposed by and for the senate, not for NASA. Space Launch System is the nice name, not the real name; which is Senate Launch System. The entire Artemis program and Artemis accords were created to justify the SLS' existence. In more blunter terms, the SLS is basically cryptocurrency; a problem looking for a solution.
